Jefferson undertakes economic recovery study

FROM THE DAILY JEFFERSON COUNTY UNION— As part of an effort undertaken to bolster its economy and offset the loss of one of its major employers, the City of Jefferson successfully applied for an Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant to craft an Economic Recovery Plan. The $130,000 grant was to be used to retain a consultant. Vandewalle & Associates Inc. of Madison, the City of Jefferson’s longtime planning consultant, was selected and has been working on the study since January. The economic recovery study will be presented to the public on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 3 p.m. It will be held at Jefferson City Hall, located at 317 South Main St.
